Morning all. BGs are being a right royal PITA today! Set change last night and I have had a rollercoaster ride ever since.....from 2.4 to 17.1. Will see what happens during today and maybe another set change tonight!
 
She was last active on Friday early morning, you say you can't tag her but have?!?!? (however I've just tried and failed) She didn't say she was going away or anything last time did she? @Kim Possible the account is still live, wonder if theres been a system change and it has a problem tagging someone with a space in their avatar? (Long shot, very long indeed!)

Edit to add: on posting this post it did tag her but not whilst typing the post originally!
 
@LooperCat I'm hoping you're jumping to the wrong conclusion. however it is unusual for her not to post about her busy schedule of meetings, spin classes and climbing - oh and the odd mention of diabetes :rolleyes:

@Japes always ate my own pack up on the DAFNE course. They used to put stuff in the middle of the table we could eat if we wanted. Crisps, sandwiches and fruit. We all had to eat in the canteen on the final day as a test to eating out. Glad you are enjoying the course, I learnt so much about illness, exercise and just talking to others. There were things I disagreed with but for others it helped and we are all different as you say.

We've been having a canteen lunch every day. There is a bowl full of biscuits/crisps and also hypo treatments on the table in our room. The only time anyone has had biscuits is before driving home if blood sugars have indicated this would be sensible!

@SueJB I decided, when I heard one day was to be carb-free, to demonstrate what happens when I eat "normally". So, Monday's chips did exactly as I expected (seemed fine, but the carbs kicked in later) and yesterday's jacket potato sent me to the stratosphere 2 hours after lunch, but was worn off by the time I got home again as anticipated.

Just physically being with a group of people who totally get the relentless life long nature of an insulin-dependent lifestyle, be it T1, LADA or T2 on insulin, is probably being the best bit for our group as well as the talking about it all informally. Oh, and possibly the new diabetes toys we've nearly all got now! I am now the proud owner of new half unit Echo pens and just awaiting the new prescription to be able to use them - though, I'll need to use up the flex pens in the fridge first. Plus the new meter for bloods/ketones which shouldn't be obsolete in less than the two years of my last hospital issued machine.
 
Good morning all and the middle of the week already :wideyed:
I have had a few good days BG wise, steady levels during last night, then a rise up to 10.7 this morning, darn liver :rolleyes:

Wishing you all a very Happy Wednesday :)
 
My dog has her Libre on!!! You can see it just above the shirt, which is supposed to help protect it, but I’m going have to do some sewing for a smaller neck! I’m excited, no more (almost) lip sticking the dog for at least two weeks!

Good morning everyone. Failed two days out of two so far not to hypo (my usual 5 minutes) as stressed by my Specialist to get my hypo awareness back. It was at the same time. Strenuous exercise late at night. Last night I ate jelly beans at the start and during and my blood sugars went sky high. After the event, I corrected it and it plunged to below 3 than rocketed up again. Needed a smaller correction and fewer jelly beans. Hopefully today I will get it right. My morning run always has flat blood sugars. Here's to a later better day.
 
Morning all, Doesn't look that promising out there. Yesterday I planted some bulbs and something managed to bite my head leaving me with a tennis ball sized lump. It itches like......................... (use your imagination here otherwise it might get edited)
Madam playing ball this morning. Mr B has gone to buy fish and I'm meeting a friend later.
Retirement isn't all its cracked up to be sometimes. Need a holiday

Morning all, just parked up at Uni for my first set of practical clinical exams. Bloods ok at 6.9 despite the 3.8 I woke up on. Let’s hope they behave!

See you on the other side...

You will walk it @LooperCat BUT good luck anyway :)

@ert I think too much strenuous exercise at night is a little too much info for the forum to take :hilarious::hilarious:

As for me, bloods stabilized during the day, a little tweaking on my overnight basal settings and I straight lined thru the night as well...woohoo go me :)
